IMPORTANT CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

ING OR INSPECTING YOUR BIKE AND ITS COMPONENTS IS EVEN MORE
DANGEROUS. IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS TO NOT READ AND FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
THIS PRODUCT HAS A WEIGHT LIMIT OF 235 LBS.
1. NEVER REMOVE STEERER TUBE FROM CROWN. REMOVING IT WILL RENDER
BOTH THE CROWN AND STEERER TUBE INOPERABLE. IF SERVICE BECOMES NECES-
SARY OR REMOVAL OCCURS, PLEASE CALL WHITE BROTHERS CUSTOMER SERVICE
FOR PRODUCT EVALUATION AND DIAGNOSIS.
2. DO NOT PERFORM ANY MODIFICATIONS OR ADJUSTMENTS THAT ARE NOT OUT-
LINED IN THIS MANUAL.
3. INSPECT YOUR FORK BEFORE EVERY RIDE. INSPECT THE CROWN, TUBES, AND
AXLE SEAT AREAS FOR ANY SIGNS OF FATIGUE, BENDING, CRACKING OR OTHER
DAMAGE. MAKE SURE ALL FORK HARDWARE AND AXLE ARE TIGHT BEFORE EACH
RIDE. IF YOU NOTICE ANY TYPE OF DAMAGE, DO NOT RIDE IT. RETURN IT TO YOUR
DEALER OR TO WHITE BROTHERS FOR A COMPLETE INSPECTION AND NECESSARY
REPAIR.
4. PERFORM ALL RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE ACCORDING TO THE MAINTE-
NANCE SECTION OF THIS MANUAL. FAILURE TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE COULD
DRASTICALLY REDUCE THE FORK’S LIFE, PERFORMANCE AND CAUSE YOUR FORK
TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD.
5. WHITE BROTHERS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU WEAR PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT
EVERY TIME YOU RIDE, INCLUDING AN APPROVED BICYCLE HELMET. NEVER RIDE
AT NIGHT WITHOUT LIGHTS AND REFLECTORS.
6. ALWAYS USE GENUINE WHITE BROTHERS PARTS. USE OF AFTERMARKET RE-
PLACEMENT PARTS AND UPGRADES VOIDS THE WARRANTY AND COULD CAUSE
STRUCTURAL FAILURE.
7. WHITE BROTHERS FORKS ARE DESIGNED FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY. THEY ARE
NOT EQUIPPED WITH REFLECTORS FOR ROAD USE. IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE
YOUR FORK ON THE ROAD, HAVE A DEALER OR MECHANIC INSTALL REFLECTORS

POST MOUNT DISC BRAKE STANDARD AND ARE COMPATIBLE WITH ROTORS FROM
160MM TO 185MM. MAKE SURE TO USE THE APPROPRIATE DISC BRAKE ADAPTER
FOR THE ROTOR SIZE YOU PLAN TO USE, AS RECOMMENDED BY YOUR BRAKE
MANUFACTURER.

FORK INSTALLATION
White Brothers Rock Solid forks feature a 1.125” threadless aluminum steer
tube. Do not add threads to your White Brothers steerer tube.
1. Remove your old fork from the bicycle. Measure the diameter and length of your
old forks steerer tube to ensure that your new White Brothers steerer tube is the cor-
rect diameter and sucient length for the installation.
2. Remove the crown race from your old fork.
3. Press the crown race onto your new White Brothers fork. (See Figure #1)
4. Preassemble the fork on the bike with the headset, stem, and spacers (optional).
Refer to your stem manufacturer’s instructions to determine how much room is
needed to clamp the stem.
5. Mark the steerer tube at the top of the stem. e steerer tube will now need to be
cut to the correct length. Disassemble and cut 3mm (1/8”) below the mark. Consult
your dealer or mechanic if you don’t have the proper tools to cut the steer tube.
6. e star fangled nut must now be installed into the steer tube. If you don’t have the
set tool, we recommend dealer installation of this part. (See Figure #3)
7. Clean and grease all headset bearings and races to prepare them for assembly.
Note: Replace the bearings if there is any sign of wear or corrosion.
8. Now loosely assemble the headset, stem and handle bars as done in step four.
9. Install the headset according to the manufacturer’s instructions until there is no
play and the fork turns smoothly.
10. Install your front brake and adjust according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
11. Install the wheel on the fork and tighten the skewer the manufacturer’s specica-
tion.
12. Check to see that the brakes are adjusted and properly working. Make sure that
the brake cable does not interfere with any part of the bike and is secured to the fork
leg.
